The Journey of Rhett Anderson Portnoy

We all know how a baby is made and by now I imagine you know where babies come from (wink)….but the journey a husband and wife takes in choosing to bring life into their home…well that’s an intensely personal and intimate story. This is a rare post from the heart, from the raw places in […] Continue Reading

I’ve been SO neglectful at taking pictures of the kids and also posting on Kellan some “real” family moments. Nothing is more important than celebrating birthday milestones in our kids lives. I am blown away at how long some days can seem but before I know it another year has ticked by in a heartbeat. […] Continue Reading

There is simply not enough room for us to share how much we adore and love our niece Natalia. She is a blessing to all that know her. Each year we gush about what a tremendous young woman she is growing into. Her love and light for others and Jesus is such an inspiration. Our […] Continue Reading

What is the saying, the cobbler’s children have no shoes? Well sadly, this is the truth. The picture taking of our two monkeys is sporadic at best. It is sort of pathetic really.

I can […] Continue Reading

Yes…she is just this gorgeous! She is 15 and it isn’t fair that she was blessed this much. It’s a good thing she is even more gorgeous on the inside. This is Natalia’s teaser, can’t wait to show you the rest! Continue Reading

No tears, no begging for me not to go, nothing but the back of her head fading into a sea of yellow walls, crayons, and PlayDoh! With utter confidence Chloe entered into preschool and we were the ones left standing there begging her for a kiss and not to go. All my fears abated. She […] Continue Reading

Not a girl, not yet a women. You didn’t catch Brittany’s movie “Crossroads”? I can’t believe it! I am somewhat ashamed to say that a friend and I drove an hour away to go see it because we didn’t want to be seen by any students watching it in our city. Oh yes, I PAID to […] Continue Reading
